NF-Understand+decimal+notation+for+fractions,+&+compare+decimal+fractions

Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 100. 4.NF.5. Express a fraction with denominator 10 as an equivalent fraction with denominator 100, and use this technique to add two fractions with respective denominators 10 and 100.* For example, express 3/10 as 30/100, and add 3/10 + 4/100 = 34/100. 4.NF.6. Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. For example, rewrite 0.62 as 62/100; describe a length as 0.62 meters; locate 0.62 on a number line diagram. 4.NF.7. Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model. *Students who can generate equivalent fractions can develop strategies for adding fractions with unlike denominators in general. But addition and subtraction with unlike denominators in general is not a requirement at this grade. || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍Anchor Standard/Mathematical Practice(s) === MP.2.

In order to prepare for <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">work with decimals (4.NF.6 and 4.NF.7), experiences that allow students to shade decimal grids (10x10 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">grids) can support this work. Student experiences should focus on working with grids rather than <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">algorithms. Students can also use base ten blocks and other place value models to explore the <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">relationship between fractions with denominators of 10 and denominators of 100. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">This work in fourth grade lays the foundation for performing operations with decimal numbers in fifth <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">grade. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">4.NF.6 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Students make connections between fractions with denominators of 10 and 100 and the place value chart. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">By reading fraction names, students say 32/100 as thirty-two hundredths and rewrite this as 0.32 or <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">represent it on a place value model as shown below. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">see Common Core Flipbook p.46 <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Students use the representations explored in 4.NF.5 to understand 32/100 can be expanded to 3/10 and <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">2/100. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Students represent values such as 0.32 or 32/100 on a number line. 32/100 is more than 30/100 (or 3/10) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">and less than 40/100 (or 4/10).

Through these experiences and their <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">work with fraction models, they build the understanding that comparisons between decimals or <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">fractions are only valid when the whole is the same for both cases.

The decimal must relate to the whole.
